Anxiety disorders co-occur with substance use disorders at a high rate in both the general population and in treatment-seeking samples. The co-occurrence of these disorders is associated with greater symptom severity, higher levels of disability, and poorer course of illness relative to either disorder alone. However, relatively little research focus has been afforded to the treatment of co-occurring anxiety and substance use disorders. This notable gap in the research literature may not only leave anxiety untreated or under-treated, but may also increase the risk for relapse and poor substance use outcomes. The aim of this manuscript is to provide a review of the current state of the literature on the treatment of co-occurring anxiety and substance use disorders. This review includes brief overview of the epidemiology of this co-occurrence, challenges in assessing anxiety in the context of a substance use disorder, evidence for treatment approaches, and new advancements and future directions in this understudied area. The importance of future research to identify optimal behavioral and pharmacologic treatments for co-occurring anxiety and substance use disorders is highlighted.
